Could be throttle position sensor, a air mixture sensor or an oxygen sensor. If oxygen sensor then replace all of them or you will strain the others and then you will have to keep changing out the oldest on like a cat chasing its tail. smile.

You've got a whole bunch of sensors on this car. You need to put an OBD1 scan tool on it and see what the codes are. OBD1 is very vague but may pin point you to the problem. Sounds like a bad Idle air valve/sensor. Could be a throtte positioning sen. More than likely cause in my educated guess, you've got a bad crank position sensor. If not that than its a cam sensor. good luck

May be throttle position sensor. The engine light comes on because of afault signal from one of the sensors. Going out is temporary. After 3 events, the ligh will come on again. It needs to be scanned to find the problem sensor. more than likely the TPS. Good luck

Sound like your alternator is shot. Do the test ..After you charge the batery or get it boosted if you remove the positive battery post OFF the battery and the engine dies right away your alternator if shot .

When you disconnected the battery, the PCM (power control module) was reset to factory default. You can try driving it with several engine on/engine off cycles. Get it up to 50 mph each time so the computer can recognize the transmission operation also. Hope this helps.

Fried ignition switch will do that. It's in the steering column and controls all power to everything but if it cranks then it's at least mostly working. Check battery and if drained then possibly the alternator went out. The ECM can be shorted out by a bad sensor but usually act up for awhile before dying. Dead ECM you can still crank motor. Crankshaft sensor would kill engine if bad and no start but car would still crank.

sounds like the intake hose from throttle body is not on intake manifold properly..as for the p0700 trouble code,you need trans controller scanned for fault codes..let me know what codes are in trans controller

Like to other guy said, give it a tuneup. Also try SEAFOAM to clean carb up of slug. Also check to make sure the butter fly for the choke has not come loose, causing it the choke it down. Failed choke pull-off.
